Image capturing assemblies

An electronic device includes a body and an image capturing assembly mounted on the body. The image capturing assembly comprising an imaging device and a device control assembly coupled to the imaging device to control a movement of the imaging device along a central axis of the image capturing assembly to allow the imaging device to be positioned at multiple positions along the central axis of the image capturing assembly. The device control assembly includes a first guide member, a second guide member rotatably disposed within the first guide member, and an inner body movably disposed within the second guide member. In response to a rotational motion of the second guide member with respect to the first guide member, the inner body is to move in axial direction with respect to the second guide member to move the imaging device along the central axis of the image capturing assembly.

A control section 35 compares angles of view of a main captured image generated by a main imaging section 21 and a subordinate captured image generated by a subordinate imaging section 22. In a case where a result of comparison, by the control section 35, of the angles of view indicates that the angle of view of the main captured image is narrower than the angle of view of the subordinate captured image, an image synthesis section 24 generates a display image by superimposing the main captured image on the subordinate captured image or superimposing the reduced subordinate captured image on the main captured image. In a case where the angle of view of the main captured image is narrower than the angle of view of the subordinate image, the main captured image is set as the display image. It is possible to easily decide a composition during shooting by using the subordinate captured image. It is also possible to confirm an imaging status by using the main captured image.
